How to Cook Pork Chops in a Ninja Foodi Pressure Cooker: A Comprehensive Guide

Pork chops are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. One of the easiest and most convenient methods is to use a Ninja Foodi pressure cooker. This appliance combines the functions of a pressure cooker and an air fryer, making it a great choice for cooking pork chops that are both tender and juicy.

Ingredients

• 4 thick-cut pork chops (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 cups brown mushrooms, sliced
• 1 1/4 cups regular or gluten-free cream of mushroom soup
• 2 cups beef broth
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. Turn the Ninja Foodi on to saute and melt 1 tablespoon of butter and stir in the olive oil.
3. Brown the pork chops on all sides and transfer to a plate, set aside.
4. Add in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, onions, mushrooms, and garlic, then saute 2-3 minutes until onions are tender and translucent.
5. Stir in the beef broth and cream of mushroom soup, add the pork chops back into the pot.
6. Add the pressure cooker lid to the Ninja Foodi and secure, set nozzle to ‘SEAL’.
